WHITE AND RED
WINES FROM ASSISI
Two good table wines obtained from the
crushing
of
Sangiovese,
Canajolo,
Montepulciano grapes for the red wine;
Trebbiano, Grechetto, Malvasia for the
white. The former suitable with roast, the
latter with hors-d’œuvres or with second
course. They both have of Umbrian wines,
at a very convenient the bouquet price.
Their labels are illustrated with figures of
St. Clare and St. Francis copied from
fresco paintings by Simone Martini in the
lower church of St. Francis Basilica.
RED
D.O.C. ASSISI
This red wine from the DOC zone of
Assisi has been honoured many
times over, and is among the best
wines of Umbria. Full-bodied but
harmonious, it is aged just enough
to develop its bouquet fully.
Although produced in limited
quantity it has a great balance
between quality and price.
RED BIOLOGICAL
WINES FROM THE HILLS
From the Altotiberini hills a red
wine, produced in Umbria by
methods
of
the
Biological
Agricolture (Reg. CEE 2092/91)
according to the rules of the
Association of Italian Biological
Agricolture. Excellent in quality, it
combines the pleasure of drinking
with the certain knowledge of its
genuine nature and at
an
extremely interesting price.
RED
WINE RUBESCO
LUNGAROTTI
Produced from Sangiovese and
Canajolo grapes from the sunny hill
side vineyards of Torgiano, it has an
intense ruby red colour. It is a noble,
full-bodied wine with a well-balanced,
harmonious bouquet. Aged in oak
barrels, once bottled it continues to
improve to full maturity.
RED WINE
SAGRANTINO
MONTEFALCO A. CAPRAI
Heir to a long tradition of wine
production from the gentle umbrian
hillsides, today’s Sagrantino is made
from superb grapes transformed by the
winemakers into a noble wine, ruby red,
dry, velvet smooth with just a slight
bitter aftertaste . It goes particularly well
with special roasts or game. Uncorked
several hours ahead of time, if served at
a temperature of 15°-18°c., it is sublime.
SAGRANTINO
FROM
MONTEFALCO
An excellent wine with
the same characteristics
of the code V7, produced
by Cantine dei Colli
Spoletini.
RED WINE
FROM
MONTEFALCO
A brilliant ruby red wine that is dry
yet harmonious with intense ripened
fruit on the palate. It has rich body
and persistent finish.
This goes
perfectly with red sauces, red meats,
and semi-aged cheeses.
Serve
between 16°C and 18°C opening the
bottle at least one hour beforehand.
WHITE WINE
TORRE
DI GIANO LUNGAROTTI
Produced
exclusively
from
Trebbiano and Grechetto grapes,
this is an elegant, refined wine. A
brilliant, pale straw colour , it is
pleasantly dry and fruity. Young
and sparkling, it also makes a
perfect aperitif. Serve well chilled
(8° - 10° c.).
